"The proliferation of nuclear weapons to dozens of other countries remains
a constant danger. The nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) of 1968
was a compact between the non-nuclear nations and nuclear-armed nations,
with the former agreeing to forego nuclear weapons development while the
latter eliminated their nuclear arsenals.

But time is running out on
this bargain, for, despite U.S.-Russian agreements that have eliminated
some nuclear weapons, the nuclear powers’ failure to divest themselves
of their full nuclear arsenals and their plans for nuclear
“modernization” are leading to a rebellion by the non-nuclear powers.

Fed up with the hypocrisy of the nuclear-armed nations, some have
themselves developed nuclear weapons, others are toying with the idea,
and still others have begun a revolt against the nuclear powers over this issue."

AND THAT HAS LED TO THIS...INVOLVING NATO NATIONS...LIKE FALLING DOMINOES, FEAR DRIVES NATIONS TO FALL FOR THE "DEFENSE TRICK"...BUY WEAPONS TO PREVENT WAR.

"According to an April 23rd article carried by Deutsche Wirtschafts Nachrichten (German Economic News), U.S. President Barack Obama is “demanding the active deployment of the Bundeswehr [Germany’s armed forces, including their Army, Navy, and Air Force] to NATO’s eastern borders” at Poland and the Baltic republics, to join the quadrupling of America’s forces there, on and near the borders of Russia.

NATO’s encirclement of Russia with forces hostile to it is supposedly defensive — not an offensive operation — against Russia and is presented as such by our media.

During the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis, J. F. Kennedy didn’t consider Nikita Khrushchev’s plan to base nuclear missiles in Cuba to be ‘defensive’ on the USSR’s part — and neither does Russia’s President Vladimir Putin consider America’s far bigger operation of surrounding Russia with such weapons to be ‘defensive’.

Obama is thus now adding to the economic sanctions against Russia that he had imposed because of Russia’s alleged ‘seizure’ of Crimea from Ukraine after the US and EU engineered coup overthrew Russia’s ally Viktor Yanukovych who had led Ukraine until the coup in February 2014.

Even though Western-sponsored polls in Crimea, both before and after the coup, had shown higher than 90% support by Crimeans for rejoining with Russia, right after Crimeans voted overwhelmingly to rejoin Russia, Obama slapped sanctions against Russia. Nuclear weapons were prepared, both on the U.S.-EU side and on the Russian side, for a possible nuclear war."

THAT'S TRUE, JUST LIKE IT'S TRUE THE MAJORITY OF SYRIANS VOTED FOR ASSAD.

"That support was on display as Syrians voted overwhelmingly Tuesday to give Assad another seven-year term. He won 88.7 percent of the vote

While the balloting and much of the pro-Assad spectacle seen on the streets of Damascus was stage-managed, even the president's staunchest enemies concede that the man who has led Syria since 2000 retains substantial backing.

"If only minorities were loyal to Assad, they (rebels) would have taken the country," said Wida Saleh, a 35-year-old lawyer and Assad supporter who reluctantly identified herself as a Sunni Muslim.

"But because the majority (Sunnis) are standing behind him, they have kept Syria standing," she said at a voting booth set up in Damascus' ornate, century-old Hijaz train station."

ANYONE CAN LOOK AND SEE THAT OBAMA HAS OBVIOUSLY DECIDED THAT HE WILL RISK ALL-OUT WORLD WAR DURING THIS LAST WEEK BEFORE OUR PRETEND ELECTIONS, BUT HOW MANY OF US WERE OBLIVIOUS TO WHAT THE PEOPLE OF THOSE TWO REGIONS WANT?WHO IN AMERICA KNEW THAT CRIMEA WANTS RUSSIA AND SYRIANS WANT ASSAD?

WE MAY HAVE SUSPECTED THAT, ONCE AGAIN,WASHINGTON WAS BEHIND THAT COUP IN THE UKRAINE, AS IT HAS BEEN BEHIND HUNDREDS OF COUPS OVER TIME, BUT WHO OF US KNEW HOW DEEPLY INVOLVED AMERICA WAS IN THIS ONE?

ARE THESE TWO NEW "WAR FRONTS" BEING CREATED JUST TO SELL MORE U.S. ARMS, AS SOME HAVE SAID?

Saudi Arabia was the top recipient of American-made arms from 2011-2015, followed closely by the United Arab Emirates, according to research compiled by the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI), which has been analyzing international arms transfers since 1968.

The rest of the top 10 included Turkey, South Korea, Australia, Taiwan, India, Singapore, Iraq, and Egypt. [NOT ISRAEL? NOPE.]

"The dynamic of the [falling] oil prices has been overwhelmed by the deep insecurity these countries are currently feeling and the insecure future they feel they face," Andrew Hunter of the Center for Strategic and International Studies told CNN.

Hunter, the director of the defense-industrial initiatives group, said that the countries in the region were "prioritizing defense" over other spending.The American exports include everything from small arms to fighter jet aircraft and tanks, to Patriot Missile batteries.

The day after the US. announced it would lift its arms embargo against Vietnam, Secretary of State John Kerry said Tuesday that Vietnam needs the military equipment it will get in order to defend itself."

OVER AND OVER AGAIN, WE SEE FEAR DRIVING ARMS PURCHASES.

IS THIS A NEW TURN OF EVENTS JUST TO SATISFY OPEC NATIONS WHO HATE ASSAD AND ARE AFRAID OF ISIS, EACH OTHER, MERELY A PLOY TO SELL WEAPONS TO FEARFUL NATO ALLIES, TO SELL WEAPONS TO FEARFUL ASIAN STATES?FEAR CERTAINLY MOTIVATES NATIONS TO BUILD ARSENALS.

OR IS IT BEING CARRIED OUT BECAUSE IT'S LOOKING LIKE CLINTON COULD BE INDICTED FOR THOSE EMAILS AFTER ALL, SO WORLD WAR MAY SEEM TO BE THE ONLY WAY FOR THE POWERS THAT BE TO KEEP TRUMP OUT OF THE WHITE HOUSE?

AFTER ALL, OBAMA HAS SAID TRUMP IS NOT QUALIFIED TO BE PRESIDENT.IS HE SETTING THE STAGE FOR A REFUSAL TO HAND OVER THE WHITE HOUSE?

-Obama isn’t only beefing up our first-strike nuclear capability, but is also building something new, called “Prompt Global Strike,” to supplement that nuclear force, by means of “a precision conventional weapon strike” that, if launched against Russia from next-door Ukraine, could wipe out Russia’s nuclear weapons within just a minute or so.

We also have some soldiers in other former parts of the U.S.S.R.: Moldova, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan.

-We also have nearly 35,000 troops stationed in Japan, a nation near Russia and that claims ownership of four small Sakhalin Islands and two small Kuril Islands, from Russia. Not to mention, of course, installations in places like Romania, Singapore, Turkey, Peru, Kenya, and Oman, totaling 185 countries around the world.

The United States is, of course, NOT surrounded by any Russian soldiers at all, (NOR Syrian troops, NOR Chinese military weapons, NOR North Korean tanks)— not in Mexico, nor in Canada, nor anywhere near this country, except Russia itself near Alaska."

FOR WHATEVER REASON, THE ORDERS HAVE BEEN GIVEN ON MORE THAN ONE FRONT TO READY ALL OUR WEAPONS OF WAR AND GO OUT LIKE DON QUIXOTE AGAINST THOSE DAMNABLE WINDMILLS....ALL OF THEM...EVERYWHERE...AT THE SAME TIME.

'The U.S. outpaces all other nations in military expenditures. World military spending totaled more than $1.6 trillion in 2015."

It's also a myth that Russia spends more on its military that NATO.The military spending of the 27 other NATO countries (America excluded) is 10 times higher than that of the Russian Federation. Add up the numbers, folks...UK, France, Germany, Canada, Belgium...all those nations spend more to arm against Russia than Russia spends to defend its own borders.

By NATO’s count, total defense spending of all NATO members stood at about $900 billion in 2015 in current dollars. The United States’ share was about $650 billion. Do the math, and the percentage comes to about 72 percent.What is Russia's defense spending?

WE HAVE HELPED NATO NATIONS SURROUND RUSSIA WITH NUCLEAR WEAPONS FOR ABOUT, WHAT, 67 YEARS NOW, SINCE ITS 'FOUNDING' IN 1949?

WE'RE ALL OVER THE MIDDLE EAST, FINGER IN EVERY PIE THERE.WE'RE BACK IN IRAQ AND BUILDING TROOP NUMBERS THERE, YET AGAIN.WHEREVER IRAN IS, WE'RE THERE TO GIVE "AID"TO ANYONE WHO WANTS TO ERASE IRAN FROM THE FACE OF THE PLANET, DITTO FOR ISRAEL, AS OBAMA HAS OFTEN EXPRESSED HIS DISLIKE OF THOSE JEWS AND HAS DONE QUITE A BIT TO ROUND UP ALL ISRAEL'S HISTORICAL FOES AND DRAG THEM INTO AN ESCALATING FRACAS IN NEIGHBORING SYRIA.

WE'RE THREATENING NORTH KOREA AND ARMING THE WAR-MINDED ABE REGIME IN JAPAN (WHERE MORE THAN HALF THAT COUNTRY WANTS ALL U.S.TROOPS OUT FOR SOME VERY GOOD REASONS) AND WE'RE HANDING OVER "PROTECTIVE WEAPONS" TO SOUTH KOREA.

WE'RE STILL IN AFRICA, SOMALIA, CHAD, NAME IT.DRONES DON'T RECOGNIZE NAMES OR NATIONS.

AS I WROTE AWHILE BACK, WE'RE BOMBING OURSELVES IN SYRIA, BOMBING CIVILIANS IN YEMEN (AND EVERYWHERE ELSE, ACTUALLY, YES?), AND, ON THE HOME FRONT, OBAMA IS RUMORED TO BE LOOKING INTO HOW TO NOT HAND THE REINS OVER TO TRUMP, SHOULD HE, BY SOME FLUKE, ACTUALLY WIN, OR IF THE FBI OR MAJORITY OF CONGRESS, WHICH IS REPUBLICAN, BTW, GROWS A SET OF 'STONES' AND ACTUALLY ARRESTS OR INDICTS ALL INVOLVED IN THAT EMAIL/NATIONAL SECURITY DEBACLE.

WILL IT BE MARTIAL LAW INSTEAD OF TRUMP OR CLINTON?

HAS THE PREZ DECIDED HE WANTS TO BE KING FOR LIFE?

THIS IS INSANITY AT ITS PEAK.

GO SEE FOR YOURSELVES HOW CLOSE WE ARE TO A "NEW AND IMPROVED" GLOBAL CONFLICT THAT CAN ONLY LEAD TO WORLD WAR III.

LISTEN, CITIZENS OF THE WORLD, THIS IS NOT THE WILL OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.

THIS IS AN ACTION BEING TAKEN BY THOSE WHO CONTROL OUR MILITARY-INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX.

IT IS UTTER MADNESS BEING CARRIED OUT BY THE CRIMINALLY INSANE WHO RUN AMERICA, INC.

[How he convinced Norway to welcome U.S. forces there we may never know. This is absolutely unprecedented.]

"This is the first time a foreign military will be operating on Norwegian soil since World War II.

According to the International Business Times, the Marines will be operating out of the Vaernes military Base in central Norway, and will be involved in Arctic condition training and drills. Vaernes military Base lies only 600 miles from the Russian border.A spokesman for the Russian embassy in Oslo, Maxime Gourov, expressed Russia’s concern over the decision via an email sent to Agence France-Presse.

“Taking into account multiple statements made by Norwegian officials about the absence of threat from Russia to Norway, we would like to understand why Norway is so much willing to increase its military potential, in particular through the stationing of American forces in Vaernes.”

He said: “The prospects for the start of a negotiation process and the return to peaceful life in Syria are postponed for an indefinite period. It is time for our Western colleagues to determine who they are fighting against: terrorists or Russia.”

YOU FORGOT TO WARN THE DAMNED U.N., SERGEI. THE U.N. HASN'T "SANCTIONED" ANYONE OPPOSED TO ASSAD AND WOULDN'T EVEN SEND IN 'HUMANITARIAN AID' DURING THE CEASE-FIRE IMPOSED BY RUSSIA.

IT'S SIMPLE...EVERYBODY WHO IS NOT SYRIAN, GET OUT OF SYRIA.LET THE SYRIANS HANDLE THE SYRIAN PROBLEMS. AND TAKE ALL THOSE WEAPONS EVERY 'SUPER POWER' HANDED OUT TO EVERYONE...OH, AND GET ERDOGAN AND IRAN'S AYATOLLAH TO A NICE QUIET ASYLUM AND LOCK THEM IN...PREFERABLY IN THE SAME ROOM TOGETHER...WITH OUR CONGRESS AND THE PENTAGON AND ALL WHO ARE CRYING "WAR!"

FOR PETE'S SAKE, "NATO" TRANSLATES TO THE U.S. AND U.K. TELLING EVERYBODY ELSE WHAT TO DO.THE U.S. IS GREAT AT INSTILLING FEAR IN EVERYONE AND NATO NATIONS ARE GULLIBLE ENOUGH TO BE AFRAID. AMERICA HAS BEEN SCREAMING, "THE RUSSIANS ARE COMING!" SINCE 1947.

"Britain said on Wednesday ( October 26) it will send fighter jets to ROMANIA next year and the United States promised troops, tanks and artillery to POLAND in NATO's biggest military build-up on Russia's borders since the Cold War.

Germany, Canada and other NATO allies also pledged forces at a defense ministers meeting in Brussels..."

The United States is like a cornered and wounded animal, dangerous and afraid. It succeeds in half measures, getting rid of Saddam Hussein and Muammar Gaddafi and destroying their countries but creating resistance, refugees and new enemies in return. It has succeeded enough to be emboldened but now the last targets can also do great damage. They can’t get regime change in Russia or China, so what will the masters of disaster do next?

The United States and NATO risk worldwide conflagration...

WHAT CAN WE "AVERAGE CITIZENS" DO? BESIDES DRIVE OUT OUR WAR-MONGERING 'LEADERS'?

NOTHING.

IT'S GET RID OF THE ROOT OF THE PROBLEM OR SILENTLY AGREE TO WHAT THEY DO.
